why Great Students Arc Not Very OFTEN
Great Writers.
A bookish people do not make great
books. The Germans are, we suppose,
the most bookish people in the world;
and though they make magnificent en-
cyclop@Gias, the most learned of dis
QUESTIONS, and scientific treatises be-
yond all praise; though they edit
classics as few but German scholars
ever edited them; though they master
the principles of comparative gram
mar, and exhaust the views which can
be taken on the philosophy of history,
and treat 1.-THE categories" of all things

logicians; though their dry prolego-
mena to drier studies enlarge our con-
ceptions of the range of human indus
try, and their revisions, which they
enthusiastically term ''belaborings"
(Bearbeitungen), of former works be-
tray not only their extraordinary fidel-
ity of diligence, but their immense
humility; yet when all is said that you
can say of the vast merits of this lite
rary people, you certainly can not say
that they have literature to compare
with the English. And the reason is,
as we believe. SIMPLY this-that a
bookish people can not produce the
greatest books, if we mean by the
greatest books something more than
monuments of investigation or learn
ing-namely, living powers, powers
that stir the heart, books whose words
have, as Luther, the most unbookish
of men, called it, ''hands and feet
that can wiring us in their living grasp.
That is where Homer beats even the
tragedians of the great Athenian age;
he was not bookish, but for that very
reason wrote book that had the life
of whole world in it; while Euripides,
Sophocles, and possibly even Eschylus,
were in a sense bookish, and make you
feel that the life they deal with was, as
it were, the distilled water of life, not
the water of life as it dubbed up from
the fresh earth So Virgil and Horace
were in the highest sense literary men;
they saw life as reflected in polished
surface, not in its primitive vigor and
simplicity And yet it is certain that
in proportion as the modifying process
goes on by which life becomes subdued
to the literary type and manner, in that
proportion we lose that special charm
of freshness which constitutes the chief
difference between the books of book
ish men and the books of out-of-
doors people who are not bookish at
all.-Lerdo,a Spectator.

and valuable experience. Thousands of

most wonderful remedy ever devised for
the relief and cure of suffering women. 1t

taking the Compound and in two months

found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed In a most alarm

a tablespoonful of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,

Spiders as Aphide Destroyers.

DR.. G. Keller. of Zurich, claims that
spiders perform an important part in
the preservation of forests by defend
ing the trees against the depreciation
of aphides and insects. He has ex-
amined great many spiders both in
their viseera and by feeding tn EN- in
captivity, and has found them to be
voracious destroyers of these pests; and
he believes that the spiders in a par
ticular forest do more effective work of
this kind than all the insect-eating
birds that inhabit it. He has verified
his views by observations on coniferous
trees, few broad-leaved trees, and
apple trees. Transcript.
